Isn't it Cute!

By nature I am extremely lazy, yet I can scale great heights when necessary.
I can be a coin, but I can also have warm blood too.
If I have children, their home resembles a bag or a pocket that is very much a part of me.
Much of my time is spent eating; yet I tend not to drink water.

What am I?

Answer

I am the Australian Koala.

The koala is a sluggish, tailless, Australian, arboreal marsupial with grey, furry ears and coat that lives in tress and feeds on eucalyptus leaves and bark. It does not drink water as such; rather, it gets its fluids from the leaves. It is a pouched mammal that feeds its young on milk. The 'koala' coin is also a 1 oz 99.95% pure platinum coin minted by the Western Australian Mint in Australia.Hide
